Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to reduced braking performance.
Brake fade
Prolonged use of brakes, especially under heavy loads or frequent braking, can cause brake fade due to overheating.
Warped brake rotors
Continuous hard braking can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.
Worn brake pads
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking.
Abs sensor failure
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail, causing the ABS system to malfunction or become inoperative.
Contaminated brake fluid
Brake fluid can absorb moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and potentially leading to corrosion in the brake system.
Engine oil leaks
The OM642 engine is known for potential oil leaks, particularly from the oil cooler and turbocharger areas.
Egr valve issues
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Turbocharger problems
The turbocharger in the OM642 engine can develop issues such as bearing failure or boost leaks, affecting engine performance.
Defective injectors
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel economy and engine misfires.
Dpf clogging
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can become clogged, causing reduced engine power and increased exhaust backpressure.
Timing chain stretch
Over time, the timing chain in the OM642 engine can stretch, leading to potential engine timing issues and noise.
